I wonder how many people actually use the social parts of these services when you get enough functionality without them. To have access to bookmarks at any computer is sensible, but I haven’t started using del.icio.us.

Stories very rarely get more that a couple of votes, and I don't seem to get any significant amount of traffic from there. On the other hand I now have a script posting stuff to there, so I guess I'll keep on doing it. I use del.icio.us a lot to tag stuff I think I may possibly want to return to later (including permalinks to all blog entries I write comments on). This is an amazing improvement on old-style bookmarks. Couldn't live without it. I very seldom use it to look at other people's tags, though, so I don't really use the social part of it.

I'm not interested in having my posts on the Digg front page. I've read that Digg users spend on average 3.6 seconds on a page, and I don't think they'll find my place useful in that short time. StumbleUpon users are probably even worse. What want is to give my regular readers the tools they need to enjoy my blog. I'm also interested in social bookmarking in general, since I don't know if they're useful to people. That's good to know.

For me it's better to choose what I want to be able to do and install browser addons like I have for Google Reader and had for del.icio.us (but since I don't use del.icio.us I uninstalled it again). I don't use any social bookmarking sites, but I do use bloggar.se tags and ping nyligen.se etc. I hate “small colorful images linking to weird places”… For me it's better to choose what I want to be able to do and install browser addons like I have for Google Reader and had for del.icio.us (but since I don't use del.icio.us I uninstalled it again).
